It was Fusion I believe.Don't know if it was a car front or one of those newer Transit things. I can appreciate the work into it but wasn't one of the prettiest things you'll ever see. jmo | | | Re: Van Definitions | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,879 Likes: 242 carpal tunnel | carpal tunnel Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,879 Likes: 242 | I know which one you mean.

It was let in because : they had called the host club and asked if they would be allowed into the NATS. The member mistakenly told them YES (they should have checked with a member of the NATS board)When they arrived at the gate at Wisconsin, after driving from Nebraska, It was questioned again whether to allow in. It was decided not to punish them for the misdeeds of the Host club, but to allow them in just this once. So they got in with the understanding the vehicle would not be let in in the future. They had a great time, really enjoyed the run,and were invited to come back with a complete VAN.

I can see both sides. who wants cars in the van events? who wants a semi van vehicle that doesn't fit in at other events excluded? Any vehicle that is somewhat van-like and customized would be fine with me. 1992 Chevy G20, 110" wheelbase, Mark III conversion, L31/4L80e swap, Express wiring harness.

I mean, after all, how do you make and enforce rules for people who don't like following rules? I believe that Vanners are, by one degree or another, non-conformists. Any rule that is so hard and tight that it cannot be bent by commonsense or compassion would grate against our nature.
Just my 2%.
